What are some trends/styles that went to soon? Or what do you wish would die out already?
Personally I wish that fitted hats, Brown baggy cords (looser pants in general for that matter), puffier shoes, striped T shirts, Curved hats, black/black shoes,brown/gum shoes and "alternating" shoes(seude border, with another color that filled in the rest of the shoes) would make a comeback. So i guess you could say 2004-2008ish, I started middle school when these were finishing up, i was too into the whole skinny jeans look and was afraid to wear any other shoe color than black because i thought people would make fun of me. Lol now. And now when i buy size 34 pantsin hopes that they are baggier, it just looks like i dropped a fat ass shit in there. But honestly, the whole "looking like a starbucks barista and wearing only plain, toned colors and chinos thing is getting old to me. Not that i don't love chinos.
So what is it SLAP? I'm going to watch bates motel, so entertain me for after that.

Swishy pants of course

loved this era
Danny Renaud - Habitat - Mosaic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_OABNISNfE#)
His skating speaks for itself, but I like the way Trahan dresses haha

I don't have a problem with solid, plain clothes like blank t-shirts. I think it looks less juvenile than a "sk8er tee". I am getting fucking tired of cuffed highwaters or the dickies that people buy kinda short so they look like dress slacks. I love how it looks on my suits, however you don't see me skating in a tie and cufflinks. I FUCKING HATE the 5-panel/camp cap craze. I remember when I thought they only made those hats in khaki (Danny Renaud as mentioned above^^) and now they're every color and look stupid. Brown pants or black pants are the way to go and the shorts with high black socks is the shit.

baggy cargos were my favorite

Blank T's are the shit! But I'm mostly aiming this at just how boring and drab everything is getting, and everybody i skate with seem to forget what jeans are. 5 panels are all right, but they are now catching on to the popular crowd at school. the janoski route. I've been known to wear my DC visor beanie when I'm alone in the house. Waiting for it to come full circle into prominence.

My style of dress has been the same with minor variations since '96 or so. Every 5 or so years I look completely regular and within another few years I am looking pretty current. Or I'm just a delusional half drunk idiot.

i agree. every once in a while i am sorta in style but that sucks cause after you look like last year's style. i don't give too much of a shit about whatever skate style zeitgeist is going on. sometimes what i'm wearing is a reflection of whatever girl i'm w/ but it all ends up raggedy in the end. it's corny to want your style to come in cause then ya look like every other jackass but it's lame to care too much either way. i dress the same as i did when i was 6 yrs old.........

Yea, I remember when everyone looked like Waldo with the striped shirt thing, still got a few. Fitted caps on the other hand, those can stay in the past, those and flex fits.

I think its sick how Ronnie Creager still dresses like its the early 2000s.

I was thinking the other day it would be nice to have a chain wallet or at least some kind of wallet with a leash on it.
-
i wish girls would start wearing those tight pants w/ the stirrups again.

i like the sweater/ zip up vest over the white tee and khaki pants style ala gino and ross norman etc etc...
also the light denim, plain tee, backwards hat, white shoes with gum sole shit

When was this? People have been copying the looks of people they admire forever. Cavemen probably dickrode other cavemen who were the best hunters.
"Yo Oog, where'd you get that dope mastodon loincloth?"
"Supreme Spring 2015 advance drop, fuccboi."

I guess in terms of what skaters wear, it's cool that everything is kind of accepted and there are no real uniforms anymore, just trends you can follow or not. A lot of kids wear high water dickies for example, but you don't have to wear them to be a skater. At least that's how I see it.
When it comes to older skate clothing brands, I always liked este a lot.

Crazy you remember that brand. An older head recently hooked me up with a garage shirt that had an embroidered box wrench that said Salvage in the middle. The name on the shirt says 'bob'. Thought it was pretty funny that there was a company repurposing real work wear.

I dunno, like most brands the actual fits seem to vary. I've tried on k-slims that were really baggy on me, and then some that were tight beyond movement. The ARs were pretty tight fitting, but they were so stretchy it didn't even matter. I have a pair of the k-slim chinos, and while I like they way they look and fit, they're super stiff, so I can't wear them when I skate.

Man, the k-slims differ so much in every pair I've owned! One pair are pretty darn tight and have a massive leg opening that covers my entire shoe nearly, another pair are quite loose fitting for a 'slim' pant but with a ankle opening that is really tight like on skinny jeans and the other pair is the first pair I got back in 2012 and they fit perfect!
Pretty much given up on krew jeans and just stick to my usual levis and fourstar.
-
I'm not even going back too far here but I really wish I could find some of Bryan Herman's Altamont jeans. Seriously my favorite skate company jeans of all time. Loved every pair I had. But I haven't seen them around in a bit. Actually the I think the first two seasons of Altamont clothes were pretty good in general, they should just reissue both of those but not much past that.
-

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with polo shirts, but my first thought about them is something along these lines:

Riley Hawk wears nothing but Metallica and Beavis and Butthead shirts. He was like 5 when the show went off the air. I guess he was around for Load, but I don't ever see that one in circulation.

Just out of curiosity, how do you know? Weren't you about 2-3 years old in 98-99. I thought you said you were like 19-20 or something. Not that I care, it's just funny to see someone want something that existed for a very short amount of time that they weren't around for.
No no, I was around 11 or 12 when I had them in the beginning of 2000.They were ny first skate related jeans, before that it was old navy carpenters. I wasn't skating when mophisto was around, but when I started skating my neighbor gave ne the first four 411 vhs tapes and liked the style. Menace wasn't around either, it was all city by the time I was rolling around.
-
i wanna say there was 'zero sophisto' in the early 90s and mephisto came later, it's got some baldheaded baby for a logo. i think. right?

Those were big in my awful middle school. The kids that wore them actually made fun of people like me that actually rode skateboards,band these same kids wouldb adopt the tommy logo uniform the next year with tommy ilfiger flags on their carpenter jean loops . Those were the kids who would be too worried with who was and was not a 'poser,'

Hey my friend in Germany just found a Menace reversible windbreaker with a hood. It's black on one side and navy inside. Has different Menace Tech and Star Logos. Have not seen one like that since the late 1990s.
Would this do well on eBay?

It came back briefly a few years ago so I picked up a shirt and it was total shit. The print was some kind of heat transfer that sucks to wear when you get sweaty skating. Just real low quality.

I thought that was a different company, but it’s the same. Around 2010, I had a couple Drehobl tees with artwork by Gonz, which felt really soft. They make American Apparel type shit now, and haven’t had a skate team for 15 years.

The SpitfireT Shirt series with tattoo style graphics which had graphics for all really OG pros like Grosso which had a bat graphic in the back.
Cant find them on Google but the real ones know what Im talking about.
SPITFIRE Please make the series again!!
-
denim and pants from Comune
The quality was nice and they didn’t use too much elastic in the waistband. Even though they were on the slim side, they had enough room in the thighs and calf muscles to be good for skating in. Also, the denim was so thick that it took like 10 slams to get a small hole. I had to toss them due to the crotch ripping. If they made the same denim in a relaxed fit, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a couple pairs.

50/50 t-shirts instead of the thick scratchy blanks
I think they last longer too, cause on my older/most worn ones most of the cotton has burned out of them over time but the polyester keeps em together and they're super comfy, but some of my older 100% cotton ones just fell apart with big holes and became Braydon shirts

Fresh Jive was definitely a hot brand in 92’. I remember buying a 26 Red T-Shirt at Zipperhead. I also still have the Goodfellas Fuct T-Shirt in my collection.
Clothing in 92’-93’ was an interesting blend of hip hop, graffiti and rave culture. We had to go to Philadelphia and New York to buy this stuff, cause it wasn’t in the mall. It was cool because it showed your fellow classmates that you were shopping in the city.

I always realy liked the jeans that PJ Ladd was wearing in PJ Ladd Wonderful Horrible Life. Maybe fourstar? or element?
Was just thinking about Skate Branded clothing
Theres kinda different categories to this.,.. theres stuff like 555soulnyc, stussy, etc, not so much that stuff
Innes, Estes?,fourstar, droors, 3Z3KIEL, edward sebastian, KR3W, (maybe some of those dont belong...?) im missing tons
clothing sponsors were a lot differnet back then, probably didnt pay much compared to stuff like carhartt, dickies, levi's, Guess, etc...
Anyway, a lot of skateboarding success relies on outside users to buy it, which i feel like outside users didnt buy hardly any of that type of stuff, it was just too niche / too far away from what they would consider "skate clothes". they would get more the billabong/quicksilver/DC/Volcom type stuff - that stuff absolutely killed it for awhile. Its almost as if the more core you were with the product, the less appealing it was to non-skaters (which makes sense - its not who it was designed for) the problem is , as i said, none of this shit really succeeds unless outside users buy it, so the skate branded clothing thinng really doesnt make any sense from a business perspective at all.
from what i recall, 99% try harding posers would have bought a Shorty's, Osiris, ELEMENT - actual BOARD BRAND shirt - over any of that niche "skate branded" core market stuff, any day, easily. the only guy i knew who had Krew / Emerica jeans skated, and he was from a pretty wealthy family. MOST skaters I knew were NOT in this position...
not sure how much this matters cause a lot of posers were buying this stuff before, but Fred Durst likely had a very positive impact on skateboarding careers salaries etc. Like imagine you could correlate Sci Fi Fantasy never happening because Jerry never got a full contract to be on Osiris early on etc. ? like imagine it was just, welp, jerry never ended up getting a good sponsor after maple so that was that and his pro career never happened and he worked at a starbucks and was just another local shredder... all because of fred durst ;D

I think like 90% of the kids that had kr3w k slims were snotty rich kids, at least where I was. The other 10% were dudes in their mid 20s with jobs and shit but all the dudes that age that I knew personally were just wearing random old man pants from the thrift store... Dickies/red kaps, pleated corduroys and like stone wash 550s and shit

When I was in high school, I only got Kr3w and Emerica denim because I got lucky on eBay bids. White Reynolds jeans and skinny Jerry Hsu jeans in gross colors. The other times, my local had the Greco cords for cheap since they had a weird fit where they were slim through the thighs but bootcut below the knees. I should have just stuck to the 511s I was getting from TJ Maxx and Kohls clearance racks.

When I was like 16 my mom just got me the CCS ones. The Uniqlo pants of the baker 3 era. She's diagnosed bipolar and one time whipped a bubble mailer at my face and viciously said "oh and your faggot white pants are here." Good times.
Then when I was like 19 and had a job I could get RVCAs and Altamonts and shit. I was lurking eBay for sure, that's right when I started selling on there. In hindsight I should've just kept wearing 874s and stone wash 550s like I was before baker 3 came out because now I kind of can't stand the footage from my spanky clone era

I wish I could do switch heels like the one at 1:49 again.
This shit is awkward as hell to watch hahahhhh. April 2008, fucking around. The guy in the green shirt is also the filmer. He survived brain cancer, became an EMT and now he just like, hunts turkeys.
To actually contribute to the thread though, I wish more pants came with drawstrings or snaps at the bottom again so you could make muska capris or just to keep em from dragging on the ground
I'm gonna test run some dickies with an adjustable leg opening with my sewing machine this year and see how terrible that looks but it might actually be sick

The overall post-apocalyptic look of 1980's back-yard ramp vert skaters, with shredded shoes and mismatched pads, held together with nothing more than duct tape, despair, and Stoke.

These are the ones I had, and i had that picture cut out from a magazine on my wall. (Not my pics)
The camel leather ones are one of my favorite shoes of all time. When the toe cap wore through, there was a thin TPR underlay. And underneath that? A whole 'nother layer of leather! Lots of good memories in these. Learned frontside flips in them. Heelflipped a 3 block in front of older kids that rode for the local shop, and later got put on.
The white and green leather ones were siiick.
I got the pink and black ones on eBay I think in like 06 or 07 or something. Suede toe, but shitty fake leather stuff, that like fuzzy stuff with a matte like, foam coating on it for the black portions. Lightweight though!

Clothing in 92’-93’ was an interesting blend of hip hop, graffiti and rave culture. We had to go to Philadelphia and New York to buy this stuff, cause it wasn’t in the mall. It was cool because it showed your fellow classmates that you were shopping in the city.
You gotta post up that shirt! That's a great way to sum up skate fashion at the time. Instant street cred with some of these brands for sure, definitely hard to come by and cost a gwop. I think Fuct jeans were like $50-60 which was bananas at the time. Mom was not playing that shit when JNCOs got the same contrast stitching at half the price. Gotta look right tic tac-ing away that worm burner double flip on the New School 8 Ball Everslick.
